# nicksched is back, its a good idea to renice X to -10 (or -15).
# acpi-dsdt dropped because it appears to be in -mm now, to enable it : uncheck Select only drivers that don't need compile-time external firmware in Device Drivers -> Generic Driver Options and enable the dsdt stuff under acpi settings.
# disable Legacy (BSD) PTY support if you run out of PTYs while using bluetooth.

might little ot, but can you find a roadmap for the kernels? want to know when final 2.6.9 will be released... thx._________________geek by nature, linux by choice

Maybe a dumb question, but how is the ipw2200 driver supposed to work? It has to load a firmware image which does not seem to be possible since when the driver is loaded the harddisk is not mounted yet ?!

It also seems that it interprets my resolution wrongly (i asked for 1400x1050, wich works nicely on rc1 )_________________Fan of the "Survivor Warriors of the Evil Empire of Bloody Destruction and Bloody Darkness"

Ohoh...new love!
Great, let's try swsusp2 again
Considering that this one is based on 2.6.9-rc2-mm4,
and that a SWSUSP2 patch for mm4 is out, I try it on, as usual I've got some rejected hunks (less than in past but too much for my laziness and my poor skills) and finally a compilation error

Ok... In the past I have successfully used love-sources and been quite pleased with the performance. I have recently on this machine done a clean install after replacing the HDD. I have bootstrapped the system by following direction from the forum on installing a system with nptl and the 2.6 kernel. No problems so far. I have working desktop, etc. Was/am using gentoo-dev-sources.

Upon compiling this latest love-sources I notice that when I use 'make modules_install' it installs them in '/lib/modules/2.6.9-rc2-love4y'. Notice the y appended to the end. Yet, when I re-emerge my ndiswrapper and nvidia the are installed in the directory '/lib/modules/2.6.9-rc2-love4'. I have looked in the Makefile, and it looks ok. Can someone shed some light as to what my problem is?

@dedaux
look in your .config file for a CONFIG_LOCALVERSION (or something like that) if it has anything in it, comment it out and then you will have the regular 2.6.9-rc2-love4 version, although when you compile it will probably ask you about CONFIG_LOCALVERSION and when it does, leave it blank._________________This post has been over explained for newb-informing purposes.

Thanks! That did it... In fact, I vaguely remember that flying by when I did a make menuconfig and I most likely inserted the y there.

Hi,
iv´e got performance issues with the two latest love-sources. Everytime i copy files on my hd, cpu-usage goes to 100%, even the cursor lags. Haven´t had that on pure mm.
Top says it´s kswapd which takes all the cpu...maybe because i have no swap-space enabled?
I never need it so i disabled it..._________________Join the adopt an unanswered post initiative today

Anyone has time to waste trying to put this holy swsusp2 into the love?
However, also without swsusp2, love remains my favourite patchset

i didn't know about this new swsup2 patch until like 6 hours after this love got released :-/
could you please edit kernel/power/suspend.c and add #include <asm/uaccess.h> and try to compile it again?

@MetatronX99 you need to do it everytime you restart X, if you're not a security freak and you're the only user of your computer you can chmod +s /usr/bin/renice and add renice -10 `pidof X` to your ~/.xinitrc before the exec line.

@dedeaux i never noticed that and i dont use swap either, but you might want to try this love since this is a new cpu scheduler/vm handler.
